2007 Suzuki SX4

Suzuki has announced the third of a series of new models, joining the Swift and Grand Vitara. The SX4 is the Grand Vitara’s ‘little brother’ and it’s platform is a joint venture development with Fiat. Fiat’s model is called the Fiat Sedici.

The Suzuki SX4 was styled by Giugiaro’s ItalDesign. The car is powered by a 98hp 1.5 litre petrol, a 106hp 1.6 litre petrol and a 118hp turbodiesel. The SX4 will also come with a 2.0 litre DOHC engine for the U.S. market.

The transmission runs a three-mode all wheel drive system, which are 2WD, AUTO (AWD High) and LOCK (AWD Lock). Four speed auto or five speed manual transmissions are available.

The Suzuki SX4 is expected to debut at the Geneva Auto Show in March 2006.

I am really sorry to all SUV fans but I really think that SUV now days should stand for Stupid Useless Vehicles (SUV). But not all SUV's are bad. Some are nice like rexton, BMW X5, toyota fortuner. Although some like the Suzuki SX4 are just plain ugly to me.

The front look resemble 'a bit' of its big brother the Grand Vitara. It got a nice look on the front, but for overall look, I don't favour it much. Taking a peek at the side profile looks kinda funny to me. It seems too 'heavy' at the front. All boobs and no butts kinda thing.

By the way, Paul, is this model under SUV catergory or small 4×4 catergory? It look kinda representing both. If its a 4-wheeler, then I'll pass. If I want to go into mud and flood, might as well get a real 4-wheeler. I'd rather buy a second hand Ninja Turtle or Landcruiser II. Or just get the Land Rover. Now that's a winner 4×4!

SEE FU arrr. What kind of 'poison' you use, huh? Paraquat ka? The more I look at the Outlander the more it appeals to me. Haiya! I take back my words la. Hehehe.

just wanderin'….if it's true u can transfer myvi booking, i think i wanna cancel my booking for myvi,anybody interested. i booked right b4 launching suppose to get myvi anytime but loan not approved!..fed up already coz they insist on guarantor..mine is for auto premium.

Well looks like GM now has the entire field covered when it comes to SUVs.. starting form this 1.5 machine, followed by the Grand Vitara then the S3X all the way to the huge Hummer H1 Alpha. Only the Kembara is smaller then anything GM has.

I'm sure the decision to build these SUVs came in the days when fuel prices were lower… really wonder if GM can keep themselves from going bankrupt.
